Lamp source*
A couple of weeks ago, a friend mentioned she has a really hard time choosing table lamps. How do you know what size works? What style to buy? Those are all great questions, and I&#;m guessing she&#;s not alone in wondering about this topic, so I figured I&#;d put together a little guide to offer some pointers!
There are some good general rules of thumb that apply to just about every table lamp, which is a great place to start when you&#;re on the hunt:
The height is determined by both the function and the table/surface height. You usually want to choose a table or surface first and then determine the height of the lamp. My go-to range is about 24-28&#; depending on the placement.
If you&#;ll be sitting next to the lamp, the bottom of the shade should be at about eye level. This ensures that the bulb won&#;t be shining in your eyes, but that it&#;s at a good height for reading and providing ambient light!
When thinking about overall scale, the lamp should be proportionate to the surface it&#;s sitting on. Typically, a larger surface = larger lamp. There&#;s a limit to this logic, but when in doubt, opt for a larger lamp. Pay attention to the diameter of both the base and the shade - you don&#;t want it to overwhelm its space or hang too far over the edge of a table, but you also don&#;t want it to look dinky. A lamp shade should be about 33-40% of the overall height and as much as 2x the width of the base.
Finding the right style is a bit of an art form and it can take some trial and error - think through the overall style of your room and go from there. What kind of statement do you want it to make? Do you want it be a focal point or play a supporting role?
Now there are always exceptions to every &#;design rule,&#; but you can&#;t go wrong with these guidelines - they&#;ll point you in the right direction every time!
There are SO many options out there in a whole range of price points. You can spend $100 (or less!) on a table lamp or hundreds of dollars, so how do you know what you&#;re getting? It&#;s not always easy to tell what the quality when you&#;re looking online.
I think proportions are a huge factor in whether a lamp looks good or cheap. You can find fantastic lamps at budget-friendly prices IF the proportions are right, but you often have to sift through a lot of bad lamps in lower price ranges. As with many things in the interior design world, price often correlates to better design. I don&#;t think you have to spend a fortune for pretty lamp though!
A good shade goes a long way as well. I think a lot of lamps end up looking cheap because of the shades. Finding one that complements the shape of the base and is the right size is key. If you find a lamp base you love, but the shade feels &#;off,&#; just replace it!
Regardless of your lamp budget, a good lamp is one that looks proportional, works well stylistically with your room, and offers the right amount of light.
When you&#;re searching for table lamps, be as specific as you can with your search terms. Include color, material, and even height to narrow your search. There are SO many out there, I know! If you&#;re not sure, do a little inspiration-hunting on Pinterest and see what you like that goes with your style. Then describe those lamps&#; characteristics for a more targeted search.
